Adelais Mills — Psychoanalytic Therapy

psychoanalysis & psychotherapy for adults & children

The experience of being heard can open the way to lasting change.

I offer psychoanalysis and psychotherapy for adults and children in Cambridge and Finsbury Park.

These forms of talking therapy begin with the understanding that our present struggles are often shaped by our history, as well as by anxieties, desires, and limits that may quietly influence us, sometimes unconsciously.

With this in mind, in your sessions we’ll listen together for these important forces in your experience, while also staying close to what matters most to you now, exploring ways through current impasses. Through this kind of attentive dialogue, therapy can open space for new ways of living, relating, and understanding yourself to take shape.

Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or analysis, or you’ve experienced versions of it before, you’re welcome here.

Adelais Mills, Psychoanalytic Therapy in Cambridge (CB3) and North London (N4)

I have a background in academia and many years of experience teaching English Literature at university.

Alongside my private practice, I work with adults and children as a psychotherapist at Home-Start Cambridgeshire and the Highbury Counselling Centre.

I am a candidate at the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research (CFAR), a Lacanian psychoanalytic organisation. I am also a registered trainee with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

I adhere to the ethical codes of both CFAR and the UKCP and hold an Enhanced DBS Certificate.

Appointments for adults & young people

I work with adults and adolescents in Cambridge (CB3) and North London (N4), offering psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

In these sessions, I give you a confidential space where you can be listened to with care and sensitivity, and where you can take the time to speak as freely as you wish about your life, your history, and what it is that may be troubling you.

People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be managing a long-term mental health condition such as depression or an eating disorder; struggling with a complex history or a traumatic event; or feeling a persistent sense of anxiety or unease in relation to your work, studies, relationships, or sexuality.

Because no two people’s experiences are the same, therapy has a unique trajectory for each person. For some, it may be a process of giving words to things that have been difficult to make sense of; for others, it may focus on relieving painful symptoms and creating ways of navigating the world so that it feels more manageable.

We will work together to uncover what it is you want from therapy, and to create pathways that lead to real and lasting change for you.

Locations & Cost

Appointments for children

It can be difficult at times for children to put into words what may be troubling them.

I work with children in Cambridge (CB3) and North London (N4), offering a welcoming therapeutic space for your child to express themselves through play, art, and conversation.

My role is to listen closely — both to what is said and to what is shown — and to support your child in exploring what they bring at their own pace.

Therapy can be valuable in many situations, from navigating behavioral and emotional difficulties, family changes, friendship challenges, and school pressures, to anxiety or distress without a clear cause.

Questions

Where do sessions take place?

I practice in consulting rooms in Cambridge (CB3) and North London (N4). Each location provides a calm and private environment for our work together.

In Cambridge, my consulting room is on Newnham Road, within reach of the city centre and west Cambridgeshire.

In London, I practice in Finsbury Park, in consulting rooms on Woodfall Road, close to the train and tube stations.

What do sessions cost?

I offer an initial consultation free of charge. Sessions are typically £60 for up to 50 minutes. However, I work with a sliding scale fee structure so that therapy is affordable and accessible. I regularly work with students and people on lower incomes, and I’m committed to finding a fee that is fair and sustainable for you if we decide to work together. If the standard rates for therapy aren’t affordable, I encourage you to get in touch.

Meeting more than once a week can often be helpful, and I offer reduced rates for people who choose to work more frequently.

How can I contact you?
